To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Or ape the superficial grace That marks the scion of a titled race. N^ot such was he for whom we mourn ; Of gentle blood he was not born, Nor heir to patrimonial lands Tilled by the bondman's unrequited hands. He inherited a heart, As an infant's, void of art ; Yet imbued with a Titanic mis^ht. In his hate of wrong, his love of right : His was the celestial beauty Of a soul that does its duty. Noble patriot, husband, father. He did not seek to gather The laurels of a wild ambition, That only yi...eld a vain fruition. To benefit mankind, — this was his aim ; To labor and to live unstained with blame : He died without a blot upon his name. Let a requiem sublime Ascend from everj clime ! Let the weary and oppressed, From north and south, from east and west, For whom his great heart yearned. For whom his spirit burned. To give their sufferings rest, — Let all arise with lamentation, And, with his own beloved nation. Bequeath the fame Of Lincoln's name — A heritage for veneration — To the remotest generation !
